Wednesday, February 21: Keep on Trucking 🛻


Hello I woke up this morning with Pat asked me to help him find his lost car keys. He never did Find them, but he had me helping him look in his apartment 
and in the basement. His place is a trip I hardly ever go inside his

 place anymore. He then had to take the motorcycle in to work. Hope he finds his keys.  

well, blow me down Pat did find his keys and everything‘s 

good. He also picked up my package. I worked further on this stupid training 

that I have to do for work. It’s a little nicer outside now that it warmed



 up a bit but it’s gonna be cold in the mornings for the next few days and then get 

milder with some rain on Friday. I have a therapy appointment

 at 2 o’clock. I need to get ready for. I’m gonna go to a 530 yoga class and a 7 PM 

Yin yoga class. I have to start doing these exercises that Linda sent me. 

I finished my therapy appointment. We delve into my past religious experience

 in my reaction to that which was really a surprise to me. I wasn’t expecting

 to go there, but go there we did and it was very interesting. I must say. It’s very nice 

outside cold but not quite as frigid but it will get cold very soon. I’m going

 leave Mike’s around 3:45 PM and then get to Mary’s at four and hang out before we go 

to our 5:30 PM Bikram and then Yin class. That class starts at seven so 

we probably won’t be leaving the studio till 8 PM. Anyhow, I did go to the 530 class & that class was freaking packed. It was pretty hot in the building, but the toughest part for me is that the guy 
next to me had the worst goddamn foot odor. I’ve ever smelt in a hot yoga class, and I’ve been going to these classes for close to four years. It was so gross. I couldn’t even pack it anymore. So 

if I see that guy with a foot out or I’m not gonna put up with that again. 

Even another guy when I was in the men’s locker room agreed noticed the smell and he was 6 feet away

 from it. Anyhow, after that nightmare went to class which was pretty good I always like that. It always is hard

 holding the poses but after you release from the poses, it feels really good. We 

then got some dinner and watched a good movie. It’s called Mary 

Jane and the six but I can’t seem to remember it was a movie about 

a fake rock band how they got starred in interview was really well 

done. The beginning of the movie starts with Patti Smith song “dancing barefoot.” So 

anyway, that was pretty good. I then decided to take a taxi home so I didn’t want to be messing with SEPTA after midnight.

Write to the FCC to SAVE NET NEUTRALITY!!!!!!

The FCC is set to end Net Neutrality and help the Cable Companies create a two-tier speed level for the Internet. John Oliver goes on an epic RANT against Comcast and Time Warner. He URGES folks to go to the FCC Website to comment on this proposed crap to end Net Neutrality Here is how one website describes it:
On Sunday night, Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver spent 13 solid minutes railing against the FCC’s new rules that could put an end to net neutrality. At the end of the segment, Oliver urged his viewers to take their complaints directly to the FCC through a new comment system the agency recently set up at fcc.gov/comments.
That URL appeared on screen behind Oliver for 40 whole seconds as he rallied the internet’s most notorious commenters to “focus your indiscriminate rage in a useful direction.”

What Can I say? Here Come August!

July 30th
This past week was fairly blah and I did not blog but now I am.

July 31st
I thoroughly entertained by John Olivwr and the Daily Show this past week when they lampooned Anthony Weiner and San Diego Mayor Bob Filner!

Just thought windows bad but Filner takes it to a whole new level!! Ewww!

This dude Filner  is a serial sexual creep. I mean

HE SLOBBERED ALL OVER A WOMAN'S FACE!! EEWWwww!

It's Saturday August 3 2013. It's cloudy but comfortable outside in West Philly.

I am on the 21 bus heading to 20th and Chestnut Streets. I got my iced
I called my friend and she was free and we decided to go to the Best Buy in South Philly.
58th Street August 3rd AM
coffee and went to men's meeting. After that I hung out and then checked out the cat that I watching this weekend.
The ride was about an hour away but we got there. She was looking at what are called All in One's. They are desktop computers that have the hard drive etc behind the monitor, so there is no tower to take up space. Most had VERY large screens and large prices that can go over $1000.00. Some were touch-screen, others were not. Both of us were not overly impressed with them and of course they ALL had Windows 8 pre-installed. We

wanted to see if they had Apple computers and YES they did. Boy oh boy, they were NICE LOOKING machines! We BOTH really liked the display ]BUT not the prices. They ranged from $1000.00 to $1,500.00.  We agreed that it would be nice to get one of

these but way too much for what we use our computers for. If I ever decide to pursue my photo
Its a Twisted World Isn't it??
hobby then MAYBE but It would be hard for me to rationalize spending $1,200 bucks and owing a credit card that much. I would earn the scorn of many as they shake their heads!! (e.g SMH!!)\

It was going OK, then I got a request to remove a line from my account. I got a message that Metro PCS said that I needed to remove the line before getting the phone unlocked.
Starbucks Sat Aug 4th

Text re AT&T line. Went to metro. Phone must be unlocked. Unlocked means not under contract. Metro will not call to deactivate AT&T acct. he said you have to buy out of contract, close the line, set the phone free to go to metro land.

Waiting for the 25 Bus to Best Buy!
I went to the AT&T Store at 16th Street near Market and the man said that Metro was to call AT&T. This what I told them.
Well at 4:56pm Saturday I got this

    Well, its a sunny Sunday August 4th. The landlord is outta town till the 7th but I did give the rent for August so I would not find a way to just spend the money. Off to the construction site since the YouTube video is stalled in its download

    I skipped the Bar None
     I started writing this blog. I seem to want to write this blog when time is limited and there is something else coming up soon.
    I dropped by to visit Drew. He is  working on a construction site on 45th and Walnut. We split up
    At Saxby's
    pizza at Pasqualley's and the pizza was quite good! He hope to find something different soon.
    At Saxby's
    I then went to the cat that I'm baby-sitting, next thing, I was taking a nice nap. I deleted the other version of this blog and then I need some photos and deleted a whole bunch of my iPhone.
    I am now going to a meeting and I am running late. This meeting was a bit different then most. The speaker was old school and that's all I can say. I did like it and took some good things out it. Afterwards, the young huddled togethter and I cought the 42 bus while Pat was at the NJ Motorsports Park being an assistant to somebody. I did get some necessary items at the CVS and got my load of laudry at the You Do We Do Laundrymat. I then watched some MLB videos.
